I kind of agree with that sentiment since we knew it was coming and realistically nothing's really changed but the default permissions being more strict out of the box.
But this does leave open a big issue:
Where do you put shared data? <s>
There's no place on the entire machine that's sharable by all users unless you change permissions. IOW, shareable applications are going to be tough to install without manual user intervention. Same for networked applications that may need to (
) share files across the network.

>From what I've read, yes. But like I said, Microsoft has been telling us for 12 years not to do that. Its like when MS told us back in the DOS 6 and Win 3.0 days (or earlier, I didn't do Windows until then) to quit accessing hardware directly at the application level. Everybody cried "Foul!" when their apps got broken by Win 95. I'm sorry to offend, but it is just "Too Sad"! We were warned.
